THE COUNTRY AGENT.
S. H. Itoimnl < n Itatttmy
In 1831 when the - railway was
extending its llnoq through western Ne
braska , I was employed on one of the
brnni'hoa in the caltlb grazing district
as station nRont , express atrent nnd telegraph -
graph operator.
As there was no bank In the town the
express business was qulto largo , es
pecially the receiving and forwarding
of money packages.Vo also had qulto
a nice money order bu3inossof which , In
the absence of other moans of oxchantro ,
the sales would often nmount to from
$ .500 to SI , 000 per wool : .
To supply the demand for money or
ders , I was compelled to keep a good
supply of blanks on hand , as It required
from four to five days , after making a
requisition on our supnly olllco , before
they would roach us ; this would necessi
tate our ordorinjr at least fifty orders
each tlmo , consequently wo would often
have as many as sixty or seventy blank
orders in our ollico.
There had boon several cases of where
agents had boon "hold up" In the west
ern part of the state and the express
company had repeatedly Issued Instruc
tions , warning its agents to Ube the ut
most vigllanco In the care of blank
uionov orders.
Wo wore required to remit both rail
road and express funds daily , and the
practice of keeping over S > 5 on hand , over
night , for change , was strictly forbid
den.
den.Tho
The idea of ray position being quito n
responsible one for a boy of my ago I
was hardly 17 years old had never en
tered my mind , and I had implicit confi
dence in my ability to cope with any
emergency with which 1 should moot.
Ono evening , when later than usual I
was counting the cash preparatory to
putting up my remittance which would
bo forwarded on the 11:30 : p. in. train I
was suddenly Interrupted by the wait
ing-room door being quietly opened
through which n stranger entered ; after
taking a hurried observation of the
waiting-room and oflieo. ho was about to
make his departure when I asked him if
there was anything wanted.
"Nothing in particular , " said ho , and
ho left as suddenly as ho had appeared.
I thought nothing more of the matter ,
and wont on with the work of making
.ip my reports , when the waiting-room
door was ajrain opened , and inalkod
uy visitor of a few minutes before , fol-
owcd by four more of as lough looking
specimens of cowboys as had over boon
my privilege to behold ; they wore armed
to the teeth ; the jingling of their spurs
and the noise of their heavy hoots upon
the hard wood jloor was enough to
frighten an "old timer. " They cneh had
i largo slouch cowboy hat upon their
liead , while tlioir faros wore covered
with handkerchiefs , with holes cut in
them to accommodate their eyes and
nouth.
I was so completely taken by surprise
that I was unable to move , and before I
recovered my souses sulliciontly to real-
i/o the situation , 1 was confronted with
the muzzles of flvo pistols , with the com
mand of "hands up , young fellorl"
This all transpired so quickly that it
would have been impossible for mo to
have offered any resistance , nnd worse
than madness to have done so.
"Wo don't want yer money , young
feller , "said one , who appeared to bo the
lender , "what we're after ib thorn money
orders. "
By this time two of the men had
oapcd over the counter which separated
my office from the waiting room , and
jomrnenced searching mo to disarm mo
n case I had any weapons of defense
: lese at hand.
After satisfying themselves that I was
unarmed , and warning mo to make no
call for help under penalty of immedi
ate death , they then ordered mo to pro
duce the money orders , which I immedi
ately did.
I had by this tlmo somewhat recovered
from my surprise , and had como to the
conclusion that their intention was to
compel mo to issue money orders paya
ble to bearer , so they could ho cashed
olf-owhoro , and they would therefore
irmko a larger haul with less danger to
themselves than they would by taking
the blank orders and the insignificant
amount of cash that was in the ollico at
the tlmo ; this , I concluded , was an ex
planation for their apparent magnanim
ity in "not wanting my money. " and my
conjecture proved to bo correct , by what
followed.
"Wo want no funny business now , but
want you to write out some of them
orders , and do it blamed quick , too. "
Suddenly a scheme Hashed on my
mind , by which , if I could only raako it
work , I could yet frustrate their plans ;
so , in as bravo a voice as I could muster
up. I said , "What amount do you want
them made out for ? "
"lluhV" said the spokesman.
"What amount do you wish the orders
made out for , sixty dollars each ? " I
asked.
"Yes ; sixty dollars will do , " said he.
"Make them payable to bearer1 ho
further added , and for the next hour I
steadily llllod ' out money orders "pay
able to bearer , " for the amount of 5 > UO
oiich.
After forty-two orders had boon filled
out , they began to L'ot restless , and said
they would now bid mo irood evening ,
hut before doing so they would In com
pelled to , as a more matter of form , go
through a few preliminaries that wore
absolutely neuoss.iry in a case of this
kind. So while one of their number do-
taehed my telegraph instrument from
the table "tho other four proceeded to
hind mo hand and foot , After having
completed tying my arms and feet se
curely aiul tying a handkerchief over
my mouth , they extinguished the lamps
mid with mouk politeness hade mo good
night ; than locking the door with the
key tvhiuh they had tikon fiom my
pocket , they departed , taking with thorn
my telegraph instrument.
The sound of their horses hoofs had
Bcarcoly died out when I had the hand
kerchief worked oil my mouth , which
wes donn by hooking it on a nail that
projected from the mopboard , and rollIng -
Ing away from it ; but try as I would I
could loosen neither my hands nor my
foot.
It was nearly train time , I was cer
tain , and hoped to soon ho released from
my present dllllculty. I know that it
would bo useless to attempt to make my
self hoard by any one in the town , as
there was not one chancp in ono hun
dred of any ono coming within hearing1
d islnnco of the station at that tlmo ol
the night , na the million was situated
nearly a half mlle from the nearest
building in the town. My only hop
seemed to bo to make the host of the
situation until the train should arrive ,
when I could no doubt make the train
crow hoar mo , and explain the situation
and have them release mo ,
Time aped on nnd still no train camo.
A storm had been threatening nil the
evening , and it nt last broke forth in al
its fury. For fully two hours nothing
was hoard save the incessant boatintr o :
the ruin and an occasional peal of thun
der.
Presently some ono tried the door o
the waiting room and called my name
1 recognized the voice of the sootiot
foreman , who on account of the stern
had couio down to look after the track.
I told him I was bound hand and foot

and for him to tnko his switch Uoy nnd
unlock the freight hottsu door and' como
into the olllco and i-olouso mo , which ho
did in short order. I briefly explained
the situation to him , nnd wo concluded
that it would bo useless for us to nt-
torapt to follow the villnins , as the rain
Wuld by morning Imvo thoU- trail so
completely obliterated that it could not
bo followed.
My main line instrument was pone ,
and as I had nothing in the wlmpo of a
main line relay in the olllco , I con
cluded I would have to send a report of
the allair to the superintendent of the
express company to the nearest tolo-
grnph olllco , by the section foreman , to
bo transmitted from there with as little
delay as possible.
While the section foreman had ffono
for his men , I thought there would bo
no harm in "cutting in" my local
bounder oil the main Jino , and greatly to
my surprise , by adjusting very ( ino , I
was able to ' 'road" the main line very
nicely.
The expected trail * amd boon delayed
by a culvert being * J9hod } out further
west of us , I promptly reported by wire
to the superintendent of express what
hud happened , BO ) to could notify all
otlicoa to bo on their bfiiuru Jf any of the
orders were prosontoStfor payment.
The orders , as I ha'ct"ihsuud themwere
worthless , and not 1 eont could bo real-
ixod on them by any.ptfo , , for across the
top of each order in large capitals was
the following : "No piior ; sold for moro
than $50. " And as they were Issued for
SCO each they were therefore of no value.
Ton dnj'H later 1 to'olved word from
the superintendent tuutlio effect that a
young follow had proWntod two of the
orders for payment at Santa Fo , N.
M. , and ho had MMon promptly
arrested , and wjwn sonrching
him , tha entire forty-two money
orders were found. Ho confessed that
ho had organized several bands in vari
ous partb of the west for the purpose of
raiding and swindling the express com
pany as revenge for the company dis
charging him for dishonesty. His ac
complices all escaped.
Shortly after this occurred the major

throughout the country issued joint in
